SHALL WE HAVE CHEAPER
SUGAR?

There is probably no article of fam.
lily use except -four which requires a
larger expenditure annually than
sugar, and, singular as it may be, the
people can have sugar at greatly re.
duced prices if they will. The tariff on
sugar adds annually to the revenue of
the United States about $5O,O0O,OOO,
which amount comes out of the con.
sumers of that acknowledged article
of necessity. 1t is estimated, on the
basis of the United States census, that
il the sugar tariff was abolished it
would save on an average to every
family about four dollars a year. The
question has been before the country
for the past two or more years, "How
shall We dispose of our surplus revenue
and arrest its increase?" On this
question there is a wide difference of
opinion. Those who have a tender
feeling for whisky and tobacco contend
that the taxes on these two articles are
a great source of revenue; that they
are home productions and need pro-
lection as home industry. The sup.
ply of sugar is only in part a home
production, with no prospect it will
ever be manufactured in the United
States sufficient to supply the want of
the population. With the present high
tariff on sugar, importers can pay the
tax and sell quite as cheap and cheaper
than Louisiana sugar is sold. 1t is
said that the abolition of the tax on
imported sugar would be ruinous to
the sugar-growing interest in the
Southern States. Perhaps it might
prove injurious to that industry to a |
certain extent. but the greatest good to

WISCONSIN CATHOLIC TOTAL
ABSTINENCE UNION.

The sixteenth annual convention of
the Wisconsin Catholic Total Abstinence
Union was held in Bishops Hall, Mil
waukee, on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week. Rev. Father Cleary, of this
city, President of the Union, presided.
About $50 delegates were present.
Father Cleary was reelected President !;
Vice-Presidents, Revs. James O'Malley,
of Oshkosh F. Weinman, of Milwau-
kee; P. w. Condor, of WATERFOWL; E..
P. Lorigan, of Chiffon and Messrs.
James Farrell, of Pine Bluff; D. B.
Starkey, Of Portage and J.. D. Hickey,
of GAINESVILLE Secretary, M. F. Byrne,
OF Milwaukee Treasurer, J. d. Hogan,
of Whitewater; Sergeant-at-arms, r. w.
Barrett, of Watertown delegates to the
National convention, Rev. James
OMalley and P. Tyrrell
1t was decided to hold the next con-
vention at WATERFOWL.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
RESOLVED, That our societies have al
ways been pledged to a patriotic interest
in the social and political welfare of the
Irish people. This convention bespeaks
the moral and material aid of its mem
bers for the struggle now in progress in
the parliament of England and about
the cottage homes of the Irish tenantry.
1t is our sacred wish that landlordism
may be extirpated, root and branch, and
that Wales, Scotland and England, under
the leadership of VIM. E. Gladstone,
may be united with Ireland under Par
nell against the reactionary Tory policy
of coercion and promoting the cause of
home rule and political freedom.
Resolutions were also adopted urging
the organization of cadet societies in all
the Catholic congregations and other ex-
tensions of the total abstinence work.
Wednesday evening was devoted to
an entertainment at the new academy.
Brief addresses were made by Father
Cleary, of Kenosha Father Keogh, of
st. Johns cathedral, Milwaukee Father
Lorigan, of Chiffon, and Hon. Peter
Doyle, of Milwaukee. Mr.. Doyle said
that some people thought there was no
need for {. holy crusade against intern
perance, but the promoters of the liquor
traffic had been seen to control legisla-
lures and elections, and it was time that
right-thinking citizens give their infu-
ence against such an evil. The play
" Ten Nights in Bar Room" was rem
dered by local talent.
Thursday the delegates visited the
Catholic institutions at st. Francis in a
body.

ADVANTAGES OF THE Y. M. G.
ASSOCIATION.

For years the complaint was heard
of the want of a suitable place in this
city for young men to spend their
evenings and leisure hours. It certain
ly was grievous lack of acconmoda-
ton for young men during long
period, and what evils might have been
averted had this want been earlier sup
piled can never be estimated. But this
long wished for and much-talked-of ne
cessity has at last been obtained, al
though not yet fully complete in all Of
IFS necessary appointments. The
troublesome question, Where are the
boys tonight? ?" over which fathers and
mothers have spent so many anxious
hours, is now answered so far as a
proper place fol them to spend their
leisure time is provided. No young
man or boy has now a shadow of ex-
cuse for spending his time in an i'm
proper resort or in Objectionable com.
pany. If he wishes profitable and in.
teresting reading he can find it in
abundance in the reading room, where
books and papers are always to be
found; if he wishes reasonable amuse-
ment, it can be gratified in the rooms
of the association.
The important advantages of the as
ISOLATION rooms was shown a few
weeks ago, when an entertainment,
without admission fee, was given by
the Ladies' Auxiliary Association.
More young persons were brought to-
gether on social equality than for
years before in this city; they came
from all the Protestant churches in
The city. Great numbers on that even
ing met each other for the first time,
and although there were not as many
| introductions of strangers as there
might have been, the friendly greetings
were enjoyable by those who were
partial strangers. On no other social
occasion could so many young persons,
with good sprinkling of older people,
have been brought together. Church
socials bring together those outside Of
the denominations who give them, but
the outside people who attend them
feel that they are only guests, and that
it is not their own social entertainment.
But with the 7. M. G. association it is
different. Every one who attends it's
social entertainments feels at home, be-
cause it is the property of no one parti.
cular church, but of all the churches.
1t furnishes basis on which those of
every christian congregation, as well
as those who are not identified with
any church, may meet OH a common
level of social equality. Thus friendly
acquaintance are extended, and the
good influences of the association
spread over wider field.

There are lurking in all the large
cities, also in many smaller ones, a
dangerous class of people known as
socialists. This class of persons can
not we'll be suppressed for holding
doctrines subverSive of all good gov
eminent. These men are the enemies
of every farmer and holder of real es-
tate. If they were sufficiently strong
in number, they would seize the farm
landed property and appropriate it to
their own benefit. The avowed pur-
pose of these miscreants is publicly ex
pressed every week in their public
gatherings, particularly in Sunday
meetings. In Fraternity Hall, Mil
waukee. last Sunday night, a specimen
OF the doctrines of these social theo-
rists, who want to sieze property with.
out paying for it, is taken from one of
the speakers. He said, q do not be-
lieve in compensation to the land own
ers more than in compensation to
shareholders for slaves. 1t was the
class that had been prevented from
making any thing from the land that
should be compensated. 1 believe own
ership in land an absurd monstrosity."
The movements of people holding these
sentiments need to be watched as rob-
bers and pickpockets.

AN INQUIRY.

offer any suggestion as to the cause o.
this occasional aborting at the stage o.
three or four months among my young
grade Jerseys?
| have made considerable inquiry, but
the explanations given are quite unsat
isfactory, especially when I am told that
my young COWS are over-fed.
During the winter and early spring
these young COWS, weighing from 600 tC
800 lbs. each, were fed on variety Of
early cut, very choice hay, little Hun.
garian hay, together with to 7 quarts
each per day of bran and middling, and
I pint to l quart each, per day, of oil
meal.
If we examine carefully the ANALYSIS
OF this ration, We find nothing in it, or
about it, at variance with our authorities
on feeding.
A change around was made OCCASION
ally to give diversity, but at each change
the nutritive ratio" was carefully
noted, that nothing of radical nature
should creep in.
Now when we say that they have
been well fed, seems to me we have
spoken the whole truth, but in assigning
cause for this occasional aborting, to
say that they have been over-fed, or
crowded, seems to me to be anything but
a liberal idea of the actual food require
ments of a healthy, vigorous, young
cow, while performing to the tune of 1
h.. or little better, of butter per day.
Certainly nothing of violent nature
has occurred in any case.
That they have been fed immoder-
ately, beyond their constitutional limits
or requirements, or that any hygiene en-
ror has been committed, exception j.
taken. Yours trl1lv.

Mr.. Caverno is wrestling with what is
yet an unsolved problem to the dairy
men of the land. Medical men as wei
as practical dairymen evidently must
yet know a great deal more than they
now know about the difficulty before we
shall be able to meet and manage it.
SO far as our observation goes it RACES
as badly in herds of native COWS as
among high bred animals. Hundreds
OF dairymen with native herds have in
the past few years lost as high as seven
ty-fve per cent of their calves through
abortion. About the only thing that
can be said to be established is, that in
many cases the spread of the disease
may be arrested if in the first instance
the COW is Immediately removed and
kept separate from the herd until entire
ly recovered and her old quarters thor.
oughly cleansed and disinfected.
From what we have seen and heard
We would not use carbolic acid in the
stable as disinfectant, but prefer cop
peras or a sulphuric acid dilution.
1t is claimed by some that carbolic
acid is 30 destructive to germ life as to
affect fetal life. Whether in reality this
is so or not we do not know, but as there
are other disinfectants equally good they
can be just as well used.

NATURAL GAS.

The development of the existence of
natural gas of late in different sections
of the country has turned attention to
the prospect of its being discovered
more generally. Where it has been
found it has produced a great sensa-
ton. Science has not yet determined
the method of searching where natural
gas may be sought for. The largest
discoveries have been made in Ohio
and Indiana. At Findley, Ohio, it was
found to exist in great abundance
over a year ago, and its application to
various mechanical and propelling
forces promises to revolutionize many
industries. Its discovery at Flndley
speedily converted a dull, sleepy town
into thriving manufacturing and
business place, where large ard costly
enterprises are now in progress. I'M
portant discoveries have been made of
natural gas in Indiana. Many western
towns and cities would be delighted to
have natural gas struck in their do
main. A development of natural gas
in the neighborhood of this city of half
the supply at Findley, 0 hio, would re-
juvenate the city in brief space of
time, throng its streets with men of
business enterprise, and quickly double
its population. The finding of natural
gas in our own state is not mythical,
but it may, like many other once SEEM
ing improbabilities, become an estab-
lished fact. AT any rate there can be
no harm in contem plating what may
happen.
